Your Emotions Want to Help You. Now’s the Time to Invite Them into Your Life.

Have you ever been swept up by your emotions—sadness, fear, jealousy, anger, or even too much exhilaration—and felt completely at sea? Or experienced a major life change … and felt strangely numb, disconnected, or confused?

Modern neuroscience reveals that our emotions are absolutely essential to every aspect of intelligence, perception, and consciousness—yet few of us were ever taught how to work with them skillfully.

Instead, most of us have learned to suppress our so-called bad emotions and pursue only the supposedly good ones.

The truth, teaches empathic counselor and author Karla McLaren, is that all of your emotions contain essential information to help you experience your world fully—and the energy you require to act most effectively.

With the Emotional Flow online course, you are invited to learn how to access and flow with the full spectrum of your emotions.

Bringing together the core principles from her book The Language of Emotions with her newest insights and practices, Karla McLaren’s in-depth program will guide you step-by-step toward deep emotional mastery in any situation.

Each session, you’ll train and progress in a rich variety of ways, including:

Audio and video sessions created exclusively for this course

In-depth reading

Self-assessments and journaling

Morning and evening practices to get emotionally grounded and tuned-in immediately

Portable Language of Emotions cards and Emotional Vocabulary Guide in printable downloadable format, and more

Video learning modules: Karla introduces you to each session’s topics, explains the fundamental concepts and practices ahead, and shares many of her most recent insights.

Audio guidance: Every session includes downloadable audio files with guided practices, meditations, and “in-the-moment” strategies for working with intense emotions and situations. Listen at home or take them with you to enjoy anywhere.

Written content: Essential concepts from The Language of Emotions book with expanded insights. If you're already familiar with Karla McLaren’s standard reference on emotional mastery, you'll have plenty of further material to discover. If you’re new to her work, then you’ll be learning and training in the most effective format that she’s ever offered.

Journaling and self-reflection: Questions to help you assess your emotional strengths and challenges, your current situational obstacles and supports, and your own emotional transformation plan.

Plus: The entire program is yours to use and enjoy at any time.

If We All Feel Emotions, Why Do I Need This Course?

Even for those of us with a rich spiritual life and years of inner work, the demands and pressures today are immense. Just to make it through the day, most of us learned early in childhood to unconsciously ignore, suppress, or dismiss our emotions.

The good news is that with focused intention, we can quickly reconnect with this essential dimension of experience. That’s the purpose of this program. With Karla’s guidance, you will learn:

How to identify your areas of emotional mastery, blind spots, and situational challenges

How your emotions interact to either suppress or support your energetic flow

Empathic Skills Training to resolve difficult relationships, connect with others more deeply, and keep yourself protected and emotionally flexible in any situation

Stress Management “Un-training”—How labels like “stressed-out” or “frustrated” hide our true emotions, and how to bring true safety and emotional power to a challenging work or personal environment

With this foundation, you’ll then explore and train intensively in the four categories or families of emotion. The purpose? To feel, perceive, and live with clarity and strength in the emotional and social dimensions.

Engage with the Full Spectrum of Your Emotions

Here are some common questions that Karla asks her students:

Do you speak up for yourself, even during conflicts?

Can you move on from situations that aren't healthy or aren't working?

Are you comfortable talking about your talents and achievements?

Do you tend to remain calm and focused in emergencies, or do you fall apart?

Through her book and audio program, Karla McLaren has helped thousands with these challenges. But when it comes to emotions, she says, interactive guidance can be the key to developing a whole new level of emotional mastery.

With the Emotional Flow online training course, you’ll build your skills systematically to tune in to your emotions, get them activated and moving, and use their gifts fully.

Session 1: Learning to Flow with Your Emotions

Introduces the key principles and practices of Emotional Flow: the specific categories and purposes of our emotions, how we learn to suppress them, and the phenomenon of empathy. Karla also shares new insights into the role of emotions in learning, decision-making, social interactions, and general intelligence. Then participants learn the foundational practices that will be used throughout the course: the five Emotional Mindfulness Skills.

Session 2: Flowing into Emotional Mindfulness

Explores the power of imaginal (versus imaginary) practices, how to balance the Five Elements, finding the “middle path” of optimal Emotional Flow, an introduction to thresholds and boundaries, and further training on the Five Emotional Mindfulness Skills: Grounding, Defining Boundaries, Rejuvenation, Conscious Complaining, and Burning Contracts. Also introduces the purpose and practice of identifying and naming our emotions, creating an interior sanctuary, and more.

This session includes an in-depth video session with Karla McLaren, available on-demand.

Session 3: Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries: The Angers

Why anger is necessary, the role of anger in protecting ourselves and setting your boundaries, how anger helps define our sense of self, how to work with different intensities of anger, emotional feedback loops, and the concepts of hatred and the shadow. Also clarifies in detail the emotions apathy, guilt, and shame, and how to work with them.

Session 4: Instinct, Intuition, and Action: The Fears

The primal, biological roots of fear, how its purpose differs from that of anger, how the two emotions interact, and how to work with the protective, orienting energy of this crucial emotion. Karla also explores new scientific research on anxiety and its connection to task completion and procrastination, how confusion can function as a mask for fear, the gifts of jealousy and envy, understanding panic attacks, and more.

Session 5: Release and Rejuvenation: The Sadnesses

Explores the family of emotions that include sadness, despair, grief, situational depression, and the suicide urge. The sadnesses provide the means to let go and refill ourselves with new energies. This session shares new information on successfully working through depression, finding the optimal amount of personal space for sadness, and when distraction and entertainment can actually be beneficial. Also includes instructions for creating an effective and meaningful grief ritual.

This session includes an in-depth video session with Karla McLaren, available on-demand.

Session 6: Amusement, Appreciation, & Communion: The Happinesses

This session investigates the myths that we hold about happiness, contentment, joy, and exhilaration, and explains their role in the larger domain of the emotions. Also introduces the forward-focused purpose of the happinesses, physical practices to support them, the concept of Emotion Work, and new information about positive thinking.

Session 7: Understanding the Physics of Stress and Resistance

How labels such as “stress,” “discomfort,” “frustration,” and “concerned” can suppress, mask, and distort our true emotions. Explains how to create healthy boundaries and proper thresholds to engage with your true emotions, and situations when you should not be empathic. Also covers the alchemy of emotional resistance, Ethical Empathic Gossip, the concept of “emotional hygiene,” responding to injustice, and how to work with difficult environments, social structures, and relationships.

Session 8: Flowing with the Language of Emotions

The final session is devoted to reviewing and practicing the principles, practices, and skills learned during the course, and guidelines for continuing your training as you move forward. Content also includes: why love is not an emotion (and what it is), emotional dimensions unique to men, Emotion Shrines, expanding one’s sacred space within, and more.

This session includes an in-depth video session with Karla McLaren, available on-demand.

I am starting Session 3 of Emotional Flow. It is a breath of fresh air. I love all Karla stands for. She puts her energy where her mouth is in the community. I also ordered her book and Emotions cards yesterday (from Sounds True and her website, respectively.) Thanks for offering this as a digital library course so that I can see her and take notes.

I have Karla's book and am working through the online course. Karla's perspective and understanding of the nature and function of emotional energy in our lives has radically and usefully informed me in MY life.
Every day I have opportunities to use this information in beneficial ways and I am starting to see more flow, steadiness and understanding of my own process in energised, humorous ways.
great tools!
I appreciate the support and structure of the online course and Karla's video and audio recordings really do offer substantial support to my work with her book. Highly recommended!!
I wish these understandings were widespread in our culture.

More then I could imagine! This is rates with the best gifts I ever made to myself. Must to everyone. The only teacher I know about who truly understands the emotions and knows how to teach other to understand and connect with them. This is all about emotional consciousness.

I would have given this course 10 stars if I could. I wish this was taught in schools, at work, all over. I am not even finished with the course but had to stop to write this review because it just blew me away. I am doing this course very seriously and really starting to understand why years of therapy and of presence/consciousness based work with the best sages did not yield fruits. There were certain pieces that I really did not understand. This course is worth a lot more than its price. It is the best $49 I have ever spent. I never knew for example that grounding was a way to channel sadness and fear but that to be able to stay grounded, boundaries were important and to be able to keep boundaries, awareness of one space and anger in its healthy free flowing state had to be channelled. I never knew some when tired for example used sadness and fear to set boundaries which is not what sadness and fear are supposed to do, which for fear leads to chronic anxiety and for sadness to depression. I would this course 10 stars if I could. Trust me, do yourself a favor. It will speed your healing. Thank you Karla McLaren.

Karen is by far the best in my experience in explaining emotions and how to work with them. She is very gentle and very real. Had trouble with the download. I ended up having to purchase the CDs at a higher price

This course is making a huge difference in my life. If you are a sensitive person with thin skin, trust me, you want to read this. Karla gives an in-depth explanation of each emotion and how to live in harmony with all of them. The material is quite detailed so it takes a bit of time to go through it, but it's worth every penny and every minute you dedicate to it.

I have been using Karla's work for years now to assist in my emotional and energetic growth. She is the single most helpful author have ever experienced. This video course adds tremendous depth to an already outstanding body of work. Karla's down to earth approach, mind boggling knowledge, and sparkly personality takes us into places we would be afraid to go on our own. She is fearless and gives us the tools to be fearless as well. I recommend this course to everybody, and I wish everybody would take it. Thank you Karla, I would give you 10 stars if I could!

Its my fault, but I will never listen, did not realize it was a download at purchaase. Wanted a CD. Tried to download, but didn't work, I got lost in the many paths and cancelled the whole thing.

I would have lobved to hear Ms. McLaren's work. So the one star in the confusion about thinking that I was buying a CD - ironically I called today to see why it wasn't shipped - and learned it was in a download, which did not work for me and my computer skill level. I am a therapist and have bought many of your products.

The online course was all that I had hoped for and more! Actively using the lessons from the course helped me begin to unravel a long-standing relationship with sadness that has held me in chains for years! I feel empowered to do something about it now! Yay, emotions rock!

I wish that I would've learned emotional intellegence @ or prier to conventional schooling. It would have gave me the foundation that would have allowed me to learn, rather than feeling controlled and emotionally trying to AVOID so-called learning. I beleive because of this lack of pre-requisite emotional learning, I missed out in what tradition education hoped to teach for me. Maybe there's still time. Then I can inspire my step children and grandchildren.
Again, I'm looking forward to understanding much more of emotional insights. My review is simply based on the excellent preview that gave me hope. And that for society. sgh
